  • You want automated brand, spelling and compliance checks on documents.

Questions

Can my client review without an account?

In Oketto, yes: your client opens the link, types a name and comments. Filestage's pages say yes.

Does Oketto train AI on my renders?

No. Oketto does not use your files, notes or answers to train AI models, and under Anthropic's commercial terms Anthropic, which runs the quality check, may not either. Filestage says it does not train AI on your files (Files never, per its service agreement).

What do Oketto and Filestage cost?

Oketto is in beta: access is free, with $5 of usage a month included. Its plan is $5 a month for one account and covers your first $5 of storage and delivery, then $0.03 per GB kept and $0.02 per GB sent, with no seats. Filestage: $249 a month, 10 people included on Starter.
